SSI Closure Support Service

A new project has been set up to help people who were affected by the closure of SSI in 2015. That includes former employees, contract workers, their families and anyone in the local community who felt the impact of the closure, including local businesses that lost trade. It doesn't matter if you are now employed or whether you have accessed any grants or support from the SSI fund previously.

Face-to-face advice sessions are available as well as telephone and email support. In depth advice is provided around debt and money issues, personal budgeting, benefits and housing. The support and advice will be tailored for each person who accesses the service.

Sessions will be delivered in venues around Redcar and Cleveland and the aim is to help people improve their lives and make a lasting change. Appointments are on an ad-hoc basis on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9am and 5pm, with the last appointment being held at 4pm.
